Soap Ball Surprise!

2-pack of bouncy balls $1 (or any other water proof toy) (though, after this project I found the same balls in a 3-pack at Michael's Dollar section) !!!!!!! And they had more variety!!!!!

Water (from tap)

Food Coloring (on hand) Optional

Cheese Grater

Take 1 bar of soap and grate the whole thing. My little ones used the BIG grater- it has a safety so they can't cut themselves. Put it all in a medium bowl. Measure no more than 1/4 cup of water. If you want to change the color of your soap add the food coloring to the water first. Slowly add a small amount of water. Start "smooshing" it up into a ball. If it is too dry add more water. I never use the full 1/4 cup, it's just a measurement that I like I guess.

Once you have it shaped like a ball insert your finger and make a hole. Drop your toy in and reform your ball around it. Set on wax paper and let dry at least overnight.

*When I made my own (because they are THAT fun) I used the teeny tiny grater and it looks just like a snowball. You get a finer grate so it is much smoother.

She had a baby snowball...

She doesn't like to stay in once place too long, she's the traveling sort...
